Looking for a special getaway? We've got you covered. You want to relax, while keeping the option for a thrill or two. You want to indulge, without the hassle of driving all over town to do so.

Look no further than Northstar for a little retreat to the mountains. Consider booking a romantic private home nestled mountainside, or if you prefer a hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe has it all, with an award winning spa, fine dining, ski-in/ski-out access and breathtaking views.

If you'll be heading to the slopes, don’t forget about Northstar’s daily tradition of tost, where you'll enjoy a complimentary glass of bubbly served at the summit at 2pm. You can also book a Platinum tost reservation in advance, to have your own fire pit, charcuterie board and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot waiting for you.

In the evenings, the Village comes alive with apres ski and plenty of options for dining out. Tavern 6330' offers delicious farm to table dishes, or head to Petra for wine and shared plates. And for the thrill of something new, try going snowshoeing at night with Tahoe Star Tours, where a guide will lead you through the crisp night to a meadow perfect for viewing the milky way above. It's the perfect way to end your day in winter wonderland.

No matter how you spend your time adventuring together in Tahoe, you'll create memories that will last forever.

Whether it's an inaugural trip to Tahoe for friends, or your annual ski trip with college buds, there is something for everyone here at Northstar. 

For a group of friends enjoying the weekend together, you want to be in the heart of it all with restaurants, shopping and—of course—the slopes. Check out our various lodging options in the Village, which offer great views, plenty of beds for everyone, and underground parking. 

When you're ready to get out on the mountain, the Burton Academy is a great way for everyone to try something new together. Maybe you've tried snowboarding before, but this time you want to walk away feeling accomplished and ready for more. The Burton Academy at Northstar is the only place in the world that trains under a proprietary "terrain-based" teaching approach. Using specially built features to help accelerate the learning process for everything from toe-side turns to riding powder. And best of all, the Burton experience comes with the latest Burton demo gear. 

For the friends who are looking for an activity besides skiing or snowboarding, our Cross-Country Center offers snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and fat tire biking for some alternative fun, and the Ritz-Carlton hotel offers an amazing spa for a little R&R. 

After a day of mountain activities, meet in the Village for a lively apres ski scene with outdoor music, complimentary s'mores, and handcrafted cocktails. Make the most of your time spent together in Tahoe as you sip drinks fireside and share tales of the day's adventures. But be sure to take a moment to soak it all in- it'll be the kind of trip that turns into a lifelong memory.
